I've used Invisible fences pretty extensively for the better part of the last 10 years. My experience has been pretty positive with them. The only exception was when my female got pretty charged up by a squirrel on the other side of the fence. She was a very headstrong dog and went straight through without a flinch. Once on the other side and convinced she couldn't get the squirrel, she decided to start barking until I came out; took the collar off and carried her back through the area.

After that event, we did a little more training to make sure she got it and I never had another incident.

I never had any problems with the recievers and they were always very good about sending the new battery (biggest expense in getting the fence).


Good luck,
